I've looked at nntpcache-1.0.7.1 and .patchy and in both versions when you connect and: ihave <blah@foobar.com> nntpcache connects to your designated ihaveServer and promptly executes a mode reader command - hello? I've said about this in the past - does none use ihave's or does anyone have a patch? I could fix it by copying attachServer() to a diff function name and removing the mode reader code but thats a bad hack.
